At present, the situation in the automobile market is changing rapidly, and automobile companies compete with each other and do not give in to each other. But for consumers, they have their own unique focus on car purchases, such as the "joint venture top brand" Toyota has always been a symbol of quality and strength in their eyes, and the accumulation of consumer reputation over the years has made "Toyota that can't be broken" show its style. Of course, cars stuck to the stereotype will inevitably lag behind others, even Toyota, which has many user reputations, also needs to continue to innovate and expand to meet the different needs of users in different eras and different regions.
Taking FAW Toyota's Corolla as an example, as a benchmark product in the compact sedan market, Corolla has carried out 12 generations of model updates after 56 years of spring and autumn precipitation, and in terms of powertrain alone, Corolla currently includes three major power forms of natural suction, turbocharging and hybrid power, constituting a rare variety of advanced power combinations in the industry to meet the personalized needs of different consumers. Today, Corolla is eclectic, bold and innovative, combining the essence of Corolla's "fuel saving, easy to drive, durable" with the SUV's "multi-functional, large space, high passability" characteristics, innovating to create the Corolla family's first preferred multi-functional urban SUV - Corolla Ruifang, and for the first time in the Corolla series to introduce a 2.0L engine, excellent powertrain brings power and acceleration performance beyond the same level, while enjoying speed and passion while inheriting Corolla's consistent fuel economy.
Inherit the classics, innovate to create a variety of powertrains
In the 1960s, Corolla shouldered the mission of "making cars available to ordinary people", enabled families to realize the dream of having a car with revolutionary affordable prices and high quality, and created the core concept of "80+ α".
In 2004, the 9th generation of Corolla officially started the journey to China, after entering China, Corolla has always practiced the vision of "meeting the needs of more users", adhering to the real needs of users as the guide, and constantly changing and innovating at the pace of the times. In 2019, the 12th generation of Corolla built based on the TNGA architecture was reborn; at the beginning of 2021, FAW Toyota released the 2021 Corolla under the TNGA ChiXiang Kinetic Energy Architecture, since then, the corolla's power form has included 1.5L naturally aspirated, 1.2T turbocharging, 1.8L dual-engine hybrid three drive forms, 13 levels of rich product matrix, so that every consumer can find the one they want.
For Corolla, different levels of products, but have the same fuel economy, no matter which one you choose, Corolla can reduce the cost of consumer cars with ultra-low fuel consumption, reduce their car pressure. Among them, TNGA 1.5L Dynamic Force Engine applies a large number of the most advanced high-efficiency combustion technology, using only Otto and Atkinson dual cycle, fuel direct injection and porous injector and other technologies to meet the National VI emission standards. At the same time, with the improvement and improvement of engine intake efficiency, the 1.5L engine has achieved 40% of the world's top thermal efficiency and 13:1 ultra-high compression ratio, and the comprehensive working condition fuel consumption (NEDC) is 5.9L per 100 kilometers.
While saving fuel, the 1.5L engine controls the tremor sensation to the extreme and further enhances the tranquility of the vehicle through the optimization of the balance shaft assembly, the upgrading of the engine fixing method of the hydraulic suspension, the world's first new technology of torque converter, the intake resonator and other technologies for optimizing vibration.
Secondly, toyota's new generation of THS II hybrid system equipped with an upgraded 1.8L Atkinson engine designed for hybrid systems is equipped with a thermal efficiency of up to 40%, which also meets the National VI emission standards. At the same time, all the supporting gears under the engine are polished with tooth surfaces, which improves the accuracy of gear teeth, reduces gear noise, and improves quietness.
Finally, the D-4T, a 1.2T dual-cycle direct-injection turbocharged engine equipped with the turbocharged model, is also in line with the development of the times, reducing engine friction and achieving higher fuel efficiency through FAW Toyota's innovative technology.
It is perfect, introducing a 2.0L+CVT powertrain for the first time
As the first SUV model in the Corolla series, Corolla Ruifang innovatively adopts a new powertrain, equipped with TNGA 2.0L Dynamic Force Engine engine and Direct Shift-CVT transmission, the maximum power of the engine is 126 kW, the maximum torque is 205 N·m, the long stroke is extended, the valve angle is expanded, and the high-efficiency air intake is used to achieve high-speed combustion and improve fuel consumption and power performance. In addition, the engine also introduces new technologies such as new direct injection injectors and new electric VVTs (variable timing valves) to improve output power, fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It is completely lightweight, miniaturized, and has a low center of gravity.
The matching transmission has achieved breakthrough improvements in acceleration performance, fuel efficiency and interior quietness by dramatically expanding the gear ratio range and high efficiency. At the same time, it adopts technologies such as split-shaft vane two-port oil pumps and innovative control systems to improve fuel efficiency and drivability. With the blessing of high-quality power combination, Corolla Ruifang brings users a passionate driving experience: smooth start, low speed can release torque well, acceleration is smooth, and the driver can output powerful power by simply tapping the accelerator. At the same time, the application of optimized design such as lightweight engines also allows Corolla Sharp to take into account fuel economy, achieving a fuel consumption of only 5.9L/100km under comprehensive working conditions.
In addition, the high rigidity of the body, suspension and wheelbase optimization adjustment, Corolla Sharp Fang has outstanding body stability, straight acceleration or continuous cornering, in the case of small steering wheel grip will not shake, the flexibility of the body, followability are very prominent. Correspondingly, the driver's operation volume is reduced, the driving fatigue is reduced, and there is a safe and relaxed atmosphere, which is derived from Corolla's "easy to drive" DNA. In addition, the cornering performance of the Corolla Sharp Release is a prominent advantage that surpasses the SUV of the same class. Whether it's making a U-turn in a cramped environment, putting into storage or parking in a vertical column, a minimum turning radius of 5.2m gives it a more flexible and robust posture.
From 1966 to the present, Corolla has a strong base of 50 million users, creating the myth of the world's first sales volume and establishing an unshakable king position in the starting car market. The reason for this achievement, on the one hand, is that Corolla has found its own clear positioning, on the other hand, it is constantly innovating to meet the needs of users, and the three-powered Corolla is undoubtedly its winning magic weapon. Today, FAW Toyota, with the brand slogan of "To the Extreme", has once again launched the Corolla Ruifang, with a perfect powertrain and other strong product strength, it may recreate the sales legend and reshape the market segment benchmark.
